The Underground please. And that's rather surprising about the HGN getting a bad review. But it'll happen I guess.

He's allowed to have an opinion. You being a jerk isn't justified.

How does that make me a hot headed idiot?
Think of it this way, if someone were to make fun of your mother yet they did not know anything about her, would you not defend her?

I read your comment. It wasn't very bad. But a book and my mother are way 2 different things.

Then I apologize to you Recon since you were not talking about me. And I have my own reasons for caring about something so much

You can go and post comments about it, I did and I am aware of the spelling mistakes I made but I was just so enraged when I was typing because of this guys complete ignorence.

I was referring to those who went onto his blog and flamed him.

What did he delete the bad comments or something? The one's I saw didn't look that bad. Maybe its because because being at bnet has desensitized me to internet hostility that I don't notice it.

His post doesn't seem like its a negative review. It's more of a statement that he just doesn't get it. I haven't read the comic books yet. I'm really looking forward to the next set of books though.

Ok, he WOULD HAVE reviewed it if he had gotten through the book BUT he disliked it so much that he didn't bother reading the rest.So I consider it a bad review.

I actually compeltely agree with the guy in the review, dont get me wrong but i loved the HGN, but only for the new little clues it gave me to use to theorize new theorys. And the Art of course.

But to anyone else who isnt really a halo fan, who would be interested or even understand whats going on inside it?

The HGN is deffinetly not for the mainstream. But for those who have a B.net account, have read the novels and are interested in the story.

I read the review and I will not respond. I'm going to give this so-called "reviewer" the same respect I give an annoying little jerk in MM. I will refuse to respond to him because obviously he is an attention-seeker who WANTS us to argue with him so he can feel like his statements have validity. I will simply mute and move on. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. It wouldn't be fair to him, and it's a waste of time and energy for me :)

My, aren't we defensive.

Halo is not your mother. Halo is a video game. It's entertainment. Nothing more. Don't be a fanboi, it's unbecoming.

Gentlemen...I think that we are all a bit stressed out to see someone have what most of us perceive as the audacity to belittle something we all greatly admire - The Halo Series. Those of us caught in the Halo universe feel a fondness towards its creator, Bungie, and are caught up in the storyline's characters as if they were almost a part of a big family. This may sound a little much to some, but in reality, Halo has made a place in our worlds and we as its fans don't like to see anyone "dis" it, especially if they don't know anything about it. What we need to do is discuss it here and try not to take it out on each other. We are all on common ground here and need to act accordingly. I hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toes. I am only trying to unify us here as we should be.

The few, the proud, the leet.

Wow, that's pathetic. If the HGN were a movie and he were to get up and leave half-way through because he simply didn't like it, it wouldn't be any different. Not finishing a piece for a review is a common thing and simply says it doesn't cater to everyone. It's saying that if you dont know much about Halo or dont care for aliens destroying humanity, then dont bother getting it.

Ok then, never mind about what I said.
What I mean is though, if someone were to make fun of or put down anything you liked would you not defend it.

Yes, I might defend it, but I would not go to great lengths and burst a blood vessel trying to prove my point when there is a very good chance that my arguments are falling on deaf ears. Why try to get someone to see your point of view that doesn't understand where you're coming from? You'll only exhaust yourself, and you won't accomplish anything. Let people think what they will. You just sit back and smile to yourself and think "you really have no clue, do you?...what a pity". I really feel sorry for people who do not have an open mind and see things for what they are and what they could be instead of seeing only what they WANT it to be or what they think it SHOULD be.
Opinions are just that...opinions. They are not truths, just someone's thoughts.

While that "review" is a little unprofessional, as he never finished the graphic novel (Joel Siegel with Clerks II ring a bell?), I don't think we should be getting on his back simply because he didn't like it. The HGN's not his style and we should respect his opinion, even if it isn't that well thought out. Almost everything that can be reviewed will get a bad review from someone.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each brave fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, or flags.
-The Next War

because fanboys dont get the honor of signing bewbs :)
